When Life Comes At You Fast

One of my favorite commercials is the insurance commercial that says, "When life comes at you fast, you need insurance." The commercial begins with Johnny showing his parents his new invention in the garage. Mom and Dad are amazed to see that Johnny made a robot. As the parents stand full of pride over what their son has built, the robot begins to shoot lazer beams from its eyes and blows up everything in sight, including the house and family vehicle. I laugh over and over again when I see that commercial. I could imagine my son doing the same thing one day.

There is alot of truth in that commercial. Just when you think things are going great, something in life always seems to throw you a curve ball. Sometimes life does come at you fast. Ruth and I discovered that Ruth's mom was diagnosed with cancer yesterday. We were all saddened by the news. News like this always makes the brevity of life a reality. Life is so fragile. We are not exempt from anything. It's easy to feel as if things could never happen to you, until it does, then what? What do you do when Doctors tell you that you have cancer? What do you do when your child passes away? What do you do when you experience the pain of this life? I know what you can do. I'll tell you what I do. PRAY! TRUST GOD!

How can anyone go through life without believing and trusting in God. God is able to do anything. He is capable to do exceedingly, abundantly, above whatever we ask or think. He is God. He is the Almighty, All-powerful, Everlasting, and True. He is the Alpha and the Omega. He is the First and the Last. When things don't go our way, we can either cry and live in despair, or cry out to God and live in victory. Ruth and I are choosing to live in victory in whatever problems or whatever trials we may face. We serve an all- too powerful God who is able and capable to provide for all of our needs. So, when life comes at you fast, forget insurance, TRUST GOD!
